One Week Down!

I know what I have to do for this project, and I know why I have to do it, all that remains now is the how.

Here's a day by day break down of what happened:

Day 0:

Bootstrapping

-> Installed Fedora on my comp
-> TIL laptops can be called "Boxes"
-> Created accounts on many websites:
-->> We use github to share our code
-->> We used this to register for Flock
-->> We use this to chat in our debrief meetings
-->> Where we blog, don't bother clicking it, you're already there
-->> all accounts are under the name "fortnight", origin story later
-> My feelings for the day

Day 1:

Sugar and Lemonade

-> Yum installed many nifty linux programs
-> TIL about desktop environments
-> Installed Sugar on my "Box"
-> Tried out almost all the programs... A couple didn't work :-(
-> Playtested Lemonade stand
-> Decided as a group what changes/improvements could be made to the game
-> My feelings for the day

Day 2:

Boxing Day

-> Packed up FOSSbox into other boxes
-> Feasted on glorious wings
-> TIL the sweetness of Mango in "Mango Habanero" wings does not detract from the spiciness of the Habanero
-> Coded on the FOSScouch - It kinda looked like this
-> Studied the Lemonade stand wiki and compared it to our findings
-> Original project leader of Lemonade Stand works with us at FOSS
-> My feelings for the day

Day 3:

Moving day

-> Moved the FOSSbox up to FOSSnorth
-> Ate some sweet free pizza
-> TIL about "Miyamoto's Pyramid" (I hope that's the right Miyamoto, and I hope you like the pyramid, they are different links)
-->> Basically as time passes working on a project, the pyramid gets bigger
-->> The core of the pyramid, what constituted the center column, is most important for game developers
-->> as more things get added around it, they decrease in importance
-> Placed improvements to the game in different layers of the pyramid
-> My feelings for the day

Day 4:

National day of civic Hackathon

-> A day to change the public's opinion on hacking & coding
-> Met someone who works for Wikipedia!
-> More Free pizza
-> API's arent that complicated
-> TIL the data base of the Digital Public Library of America is super complicated
-> Ruby is complicated to compile on linux
-> My feelings for the day

Day 5:

National Day of civic Hackathon part deux

-> After sleeping I had more confidence
-> TIL coding for large data sets is super hard and takes a while to see if you coded things right
-> I wrote simple code to figure out what the different categories of the Database said
-> I didn't know how to upload it to My Github Repository
-> I half-heartedly presented my struggles on my box
-> I made a goofy face when the WXXI reporter when took a picture of the room
-> My feelings for the day

Day 6:

A Day off!

-> Because I participated in the hackathon, I got Monday off!
-> I did my laundry
-> My feelings for the day

Day 7:

Full coding day in FOSSnorth

-> Had a sweet seminar learning about how git works
-> Watched "Wat" on youtube together as a group
-> Read about and voted on all Flock conference events.
-> Read up on the "Sugar Journal" (I linked to the search results because I most of those links.
-> Approved finalized game diagram for Lemonade Stand
-> Changed my terminal prompt character from "$" to ";-)"
-> My feelings for the day
